Lee Schopp

FD/CFO

I am a highly qualified and experienced executive who has worked as CEO, CFO and even Chair in the past. I bring energy, pragmatism and real common sense to both complex and simple problems. I work equally well leading a team, as part of team or alone on projects. I have worked with some of the largest and smallest firms in the world and bring that experience to the local firms who need it.
